Raiders Face Tough Competition in Shoot-out

Monday, January 23 2012

After solid wins at their home tournament last weekend, the Unalaska Raiders lost three in a row this weekend at the Dimond Prep Shoot-out in Anchorage.

In the last game of the tournament the Raiders faced off against the Kenai Cardinals.  The final score was 56-27.

Coach Jim Wilson says the kids played well against some of the biggest and best schools in the state.  

"The Dimond Prep Shoot-out is probably the most prestigious, if not, one of the most prestigious tournaments in the state.  So, for our kids to come in and compete in a tournament with schools ranging from a thousand to two thousand kids was a tremendous experience for our kids.  And they certainly got better as the week went along."

Dimond High School won the Shoot-out, with Unalaska coming in eighth overall.

JJ Fernandez was the high scorer in all three games, with 11 points against Kenai.  He was chosen for the All-Tournament team at the end of the tournament.

The Raiders play again in Bethel on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
